Piece Montee

This piece montee was in Pierre Herme's rue Bonaparte shop...Piece Montee de macarons, original art, 5.5" x 7.5"I am ever obsessed with these tall stacks of macarons and so fun to paint! I am soooo tempted to invest in one of thesestrictly for research of course. I love this logo for the French Bakery association...I love the way you see these all over Paris decorating whatever like Xmas trees - here at Le Valentin...At the chateau...

Ummmm. I'm going back to Paris in October, and you've alerted me to all the different places to enjoy macarons -- visually as well as gastronomically. There's a limit to how many macarons I can eat...but now I'm looking forward to just viewing them.

Just got back from the trip to France. Toulouse for an art class, Provance and finished up for three days in Paris before flying home. Saw these little trees and am enjoying your site even more after the trip - keep up the good work - really look forward to it. Linda

Oh I remember these well from childhood days in rural France...actually, I had no idea what macarons were at the time, since my French family did not subscribe to their pleasures (my grandmother had her own repertoire of desserts) so this is the only way I ever noticed them. I assumed they ALL grew on trees!

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
I paint Paris breakfasts.
